The appellant and Thomas 0. Power were indicted by the United States grand jury for the second judicial district, in and for the county of Deer Lodge, at the October term, 1873. They were charged with grand larceny and receiving stolen goods in violation of the laws of the United States. A trial was had at said term, when Power was discharged, and appellant was convicted of receiving stolen goods, and sentenced to the penitentiary. From this action an appeal has been taken to this court, and many errors have been assigned, and are set out in the record of the case.

Among these errors is that of the refusal of the court to allow any peremptory challenges to the jury that was impaneled in the case. In its ruling thereon, we think the court erred. •

The Organic Act of this Territory, wherein the jurisdiction of the United States district and circuit courts, in cases arising under the constitution and laws of the United States, is conferred upon our district courts, necessarily carries with it the practice of those courts. The attention of the court below could not have been called to the statute allowing the appellant three peremptory *115challenges to tbe jury. Without considering the other errors, which are assigned, the judgment is reversed, and a new trial granted.

Judgment reversed.
